Although I only knew you for a few months as a new Hill Dickinson partner, it was impossible to miss your presence in the office. Firstly, there appeared a great wealth of Greek cakes and food to celebrate your birthday, then that massive laugh that I could hear all the way down the corridor, full of impish wit and good humour, and finally the actual meeting at our summer party where your huge personality, friendliness and warmth was just so evident. I have so much respect and awe for everything you have achieved. Sending my heartfelt condolences to your family for this inexplicable loss.
